Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a tax exemption procedure support system that supports tax exemption procedures for tax exempt persons (hereinafter referred to as non-residents) such as foreign tourists and foreign residents. The present invention relates to a tax exemption procedure support system that supports a procedure for performing a tax exemption procedure by presenting a receipt or the like.

  Consumption tax may be exempt under certain conditions for non-residents such as foreign tourists who have consumed in Japan or have taken out of Japan within a certain period of time after purchase.

For example, in the case of general articles of consumables such as home appliances, ornaments, watches, clothes, shoes, bags, sundries, etc., the total sales amount of general articles per day in the same store is 10,000 for the same non-resident. Anything exceeding 10,000 yen (excluding tax) (10,000 yen or more) is eligible for tax exemption.
In the case of consumables such as food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, the total daily sales of consumables excluding tax in the same store to the same non-resident exceeds 5,000 yen, Items within the scope of the yen are exempt from tax.

  As described above, since the tax exemption conditions vary greatly depending on the purchased goods, the tax exemption procedure becomes complicated, and a large burden has arisen on both the non-resident and the person in charge of the tax exemption counter.

Therefore, in order to reduce the burden of entering non-resident information and calculating the tax exemption amount, the customer, who is a user, registers customer information before entering the country and converts the registered customer information into a two-dimensional code. When you apply for tax exemption at the tax exemption counter when you leave Japan by converting the tax exemption transaction information that combines customer information and product information into a two-dimensional code and displaying it in the tax exemption application form Discloses an invention of a tax exemption processing system and method capable of easily inputting and processing tax exemption transaction information (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
In addition, every time a non-resident such as a foreign traveler purchases a tax-exempt product at the same duty-free store in order to support the preparation of documents for non-residents to be tax-exempt and reduce the burden on non-residents. Based on the means for inputting only the passport number and purchase information of the non-resident and sequentially recording them in association with each other and the purchase information acquired from the purchase history database, one day at the same duty-free store of the same non-resident Means for determining whether the total purchase price of general goods or consumables satisfies a predetermined standard value, means for creating a tax exemption-related document only when the standard value is satisfied, and An invention of a tax exemption related document creating apparatus characterized by including means for printing a document has been disclosed (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

≪Product transaction flow when purchasing duty-free goods≫
Hereinafter, the flow of merchandise transactions at the time of purchasing duty-free goods will be described along the flowchart of FIG.
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a procedure of merchandise transaction processing at the time of purchase of duty-free goods by the POS terminal device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  In the following, it is assumed that a customer who is a non-resident wishes to purchase a product including a tax-free product at two different cashier counters in a shopping mall as a duty-free store, and performs payment.

First, the operator of the POS terminal device 1 at the checkout counter confirms whether or not the customer is a non-resident, and informs the operator that the customer is a non-resident.
Specifically, the operator presents the passport 271 to the customer and confirms the customer's name, passport number, and entry date.
Since the passport 271 is always confirmed when an export duty-free article purchase record form 251 described later is issued, the operator may perform verbal confirmation without presenting the passport 271 to the customer at the time of product settlement.

The operator of the POS terminal device 1 inputs the product code of the product purchased by the customer using the keyboard 31a or the scanner 12, and then the customer is a non-resident and desires to purchase the tax-exempt product in a tax-free manner. In this case, the tax exemption key 205 is pressed to process the product for settlement as the tax exempt product.
In addition, after pressing the tax exemption key 205, a product code may be input and processed.

As shown in FIG. 10, the control unit 10 of the POS terminal device 1 determines whether or not the tax exemption key 205 is input (step S11).
If the tax exemption key 205 has not been input (No in step S11), the control unit 10 processes the transaction as a normal product that is not subject to tax exemption.
At this time, the control unit 10 updates only the sales database 132 and causes the printing unit 15 to perform normal printing processing of the receipt 101 describing the transaction information of the product.

  On the other hand, when the tax exemption key 205 is input (Yes in step S11), the control unit 10 searches the product database 131 using the product code read by the operation unit 11 or the scanner 12, and refers to the corresponding product information. (Step S13).

  Subsequently, the control unit 10 causes the display unit 14 to display the product name and unit price of the corresponding product registered in the product database 131 for confirmation (step S15).

  Thereafter, the control unit 10 waits for an input or tightening instruction for the next product. That is, it is checked whether or not a new product has been input (step S17). If there is an input (Yes in step S17), the process returns to the above-described step S11, and processing is performed on the newly input product.

On the other hand, if there is no new input, it is checked whether the current key 204 has been pressed and a tightening instruction has been input (step S19).
If there is a tightening instruction (Yes in step S19), the sales process is terminated, and the process proceeds to a printing process for the receipt 101 described later.
On the other hand, if there is no tightening instruction (No in step S19), the routine returns to step S17 and loops, and the next product is input or the current key 204 is pressed and the tightening instruction is issued. wait.

  When the current total key 204 is pressed, the control unit 10 performs settlement processing such as delivery of a tax-exempt product or credit card settlement based on the product information in the product database 131 and the registered content of the transaction (step S21).

Subsequently, the control unit 10 updates the inventory information in the product database 131, registers the transaction contents in the sales database 132, and creates the duty-free product sales data 133a (step S23).
At that time, the communication unit 16 transmits information necessary for updating the database to the server 3, and the server 3 updates the corresponding database.

When the duty-free product sales data 133a is created, it is output as a text file and stored in a predetermined folder in the storage unit 13.
Here, as the file name of the duty-free product sales data 133a, for example, “12345678-0”, the number of the POS terminal device 1 (1234567), the calling number (8), and other numbers (−0) Combinations are possible.

Finally, the control unit 10 prints the receipt 101 and the receipt with the barcodes 1013a and 1013b including the transaction contents and the management number of the sales database 132 (step S25), and ends the commodity transaction process.
The receipt 101 is described in a tax-free transaction format.

  The above is the flow of merchandise transaction processing when purchasing duty-free products.

Next, a printing example of the receipt 101 printed by the POS terminal device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIGS. 11A and 11B are explanatory diagrams showing examples of printing general payment information of receipts 101a and 101b printed by the POS terminal device 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 11A, the receipt 101a is composed of two areas: a receipt printing area 1011a on which payment information for general products is printed and a receipt printing area 1012a on which payment information for consumables is printed.

  In the example of FIG. 11A, the sales price “¥ 49,800” and the tax amount “¥ 3,984” of “rice cooker” as a general product are printed in the receipt printing area 1011a.

Here, in duty-free sales to non-residents, in the case of general articles such as home appliances, ornaments, watches, clothing, shoes, bags, sundries, etc., general articles for one day at the same store for the same non-residents Those whose total sales exceed 10,000 yen (excluding tax) (10,000 yen or more) are eligible for tax exemption.
Therefore, in the example of FIG. 11A, it can be seen that the general product has reached the tax-exempt amount.

  On the other hand, the sales price “¥ 1,980” and the tax amount “¥ 158” of “Sake” as a consumable item are printed in the receipt printing area 1012a.

Here, in the tax-free sales to non-residents, in the case of consumables such as food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, etc., the total sales excluding tax of consumables for one day at the same store for the same non-resident Tax exemption is applicable for items with a sum exceeding 5,000 yen and within 500,000 yen.
Therefore, in the example of FIG. 11A, the total sales amount of “Sake” is “¥ 2138”, which does not exceed 5,000 yen, which is the minimum standard value for consumables to become tax-free products. Therefore, it can be seen that the consumables have not yet reached the tax exempt amount.

  Next, a customer who is the same non-resident purchases consumables “Japanese sweets” and “diapers” at another cash register counter in the same store, and receives a receipt 101b as shown in FIG. 11B. And

  As shown in FIG. 11B, the receipt 101b is composed only of a receipt printing area 1012b indicating the checkout information of the consumables.

  In FIG. 11B, the sales price “¥ 1,980” and the tax amount “¥ 158” of “Japanese confectionery” as a consumable item are printed in the receipt printing area 1012b, and the sales price “diaper” “ ¥ 1,980 ”and the tax amount“ ¥ 158 ”are printed.

  Here, the total sales amount of the consumables “Japanese confectionery” and “diaper” printed on the receipt 101b is “¥ 4,276”, which is the minimum standard value for the consumables to become a tax-free product, 5,000. You can see that it does not exceed the yen.

  However, the total sales amount of consumables “Japanese sake”, “Japanese confectionery” and “Diaper” combined with receipts 101a and 101b is “¥ 6,414”, which is the minimum for consumables to be tax-free products. Since it exceeds the standard value of 5,000 yen, it can be seen that consumables have reached the tax-exempt amount.

  In the example of FIGS. 11A and 11B, barcodes 1013a and 1013b linked to the merchandise, the transaction content, and the management number of the sales database 132 are printed on the receipts 101a and 101b, respectively.

≪Flow of tax exemption application process≫
Next, the flow of the tax exemption application process will be described based on FIGS.
FIGS. 12A and 12B are flowcharts showing the flow of the tax exemption application process by the export tax exempt article purchase record slip issuing terminal device 2 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  A customer who is a non-resident receives receipts 101a and 101b from an operator of each POS terminal device 1, and makes a tax exemption application at a tax exemption counter in order to perform a tax exemption application process.

  The customer submits the purchased tax-free product and the receipts 101a and 101b to the operator of the tax-free counter and receives confirmation from the operator.

After confirming that the tax exempt product submitted by the customer matches the contents of the receipts 101a and 101b, the operator returns the tax exempt product to the customer.
Subsequently, the operator keeps the passport 271 from the customer, and inputs the customer's passport information through the image acquisition unit 27 of the export duty-free article purchase record slip issuing terminal device 2.

  As shown in FIG. 12A, when the customer's passport information is input (step S31), the control unit 20 of the export duty-free article purchase record form issuing terminal device 2 creates new tax-free form data 2301 (step S31). S33).

FIG. 13 is an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 24 when the passport information is read.
The control unit 20 causes the display unit 24 to display a display prompting the operator to read the passport 271 by a scanner or a reader as the image acquisition unit 27.

  The image acquisition unit 27 reads the passport information in consideration of the format of the passport 271 and visa of each country.

When the reading of the passport information is completed, the control unit 20 causes the display unit 24 to display a screen as shown in FIG.
FIG. 14 is an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 24 when reading of the passport information is completed.
In FIG. 14, as reading items, “Type”, “Passport No.”, “Surname”, “Given name”, “Nationality”, “Birth year” The items of “Date of Birth” and “Sex” are described, and the read result of the passport information is described on the right side.
It also includes items such as “Status of Residence” and “Date of Landing”.

  Note that if there is an error in the reading result of the image acquisition unit 27, the operator can correct the error by using the operation unit 21.

  Next, the operator inputs the barcode information printed on the receipts 101 a and 101 b received from the customer by the scanner 22.

  When the barcode information printed on the receipt 101 / receipt is input (step S35), the control unit 20 acquires the management number of the sales database 132 from the barcode information, and sales data corresponding to the management number. And the duty-free product sales data 133a and 133b are associated (step S37).

  At this time, the control unit 20 requests the POS terminal device 1 or the server 3 to transmit the duty-free product sales data 133a and 133b corresponding to the acquired management number through the communication unit 26, and the transmitted duty-free product sales. Data 133 a and 133 b are acquired and stored in the storage unit 23.

  Subsequently, the control unit 20 displays the details of the purchased item on the display unit 24 based on the information of the tax-free form data 2301 (step S39).

FIG. 15 is an example of a list of purchased items displayed on the display unit 24 of the export duty-free article purchase record slip issuing terminal device 2.
In the example of FIG. 15, for each purchased item, “Name of Commodity”, “Category”, “Quantity”, “Unit Price”, “Price” Items are displayed.

In addition, when there is an error in the purchased product information, the operator can delete the information for each purchased product.
In FIG. 15, after checking the check column at the left end of the product name of each purchased product, the information of the checked purchased product can be deleted by pressing a valid delete button.

  Next, the control unit 20 checks whether or not another receipt 101 / receipt has been input (step S41). If there is an input (Yes in step S41), the control unit 20 returns to the above-described step S37 and starts a new one. The process is executed for the other receipt 101 / receipt entered.

On the other hand, if there is no new input, it is checked whether an end key (not shown) is pressed and a tightening instruction is input (step S43).
If there is a tightening instruction (Yes in step S43), the control unit 20 ends the receipt 101 / receipt reading process, and calculates the total amount of each of the general and consumable items based on the tax-free form data 2301. (Step S45).

  On the other hand, if there is no tightening instruction (No in step S43), the routine returns to step S41 and loops, and the next receipt 101 / receipt is input, or the end key is pressed to instruct the tightening. Wait for it.

  Subsequently, the control unit 20 determines whether or not the total amount of each of the general products and the consumables satisfies a predetermined tax exemption condition (step S47).

When the tax exemption conditions are not satisfied (No in step S47), the control unit 20 causes the display unit 24 to display that the tax exemption conditions are not satisfied.
Thereafter, the routine returns to step S41 and loops, and waits for the next receipt 101 / receipt to be input, or for the tightening instruction to be issued by pressing the end key.

  On the other hand, when the tax exemption condition is satisfied (Yes in step S47), the control unit 20 calculates a specific tax exemption amount (return amount) based on the tax exemption form data 2301, and FIG. 16 and FIG. Display data for the export duty-free article purchase record slip as shown in FIG. 17 is created and displayed on the display unit 24 (step S49).

  16 and 17 show an export duty-free article purchase record form (Record of Purchase of Consumption Tax-Exempt for Export) displayed on the display unit 24 of the export duty-free article purchase record form issuance terminal device 2. ) Display data.

  In the example of FIG. 16, “Tax office concerned”, “Place for Tax Payment”, “Seller's Name”, “Selling Place”, “Purchase Year” “Date of Purchase”, “Commodities Except Consumables”, “Consumable Commodities”, “Passport etc.”, “No” .) ”“ Date of Residence ”,“ Nationality ”,“ Date of Landing ”,“ Name in Full (in block letters) ” ”,“ Date of Birth of Purchaser ”, and the like are displayed.

  In the example of FIG. 17, as the information of “Covenant of Purchaser of Consumption Tax-Exempt of Ultimate Export”, the “name and name of the seller ( "Seller's Name" "," Date of Purchase "," Commodities Except Consumables "," Consumable Commodities "," Passport etc. " .) ”,“ No. ”,“ Date of Residence ”,“ Nationality ”,“ Date of Landing ”,“ Purchaser Name (Type) ” in Full (in block letters)), “Date of Birth of Purchaser”, “Signature”, and so on.

  The operator shows the display unit 24 to the customer, asks the customer to confirm the display data for the export duty-free article purchase record slip, and if the customer's consent is obtained, the refund processing of the tax-free amount is either cash or credit card Have you decide what to do.

  If the customer wants to refund the tax-free amount in cash, the operator presses the cash key, while if the customer wants to refund the tax-free amount by credit card, the operator Press the key.

  Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 12B, only when the credit key is pressed, the refund processing of the tax exemption amount by the credit card key may be performed.

In this case, the control unit 20 checks whether or not the credit card key is pressed (step S51). If the credit card key is pressed (Yes in step S51), the refund procedure for the credit card deposited from the customer is performed. Then, the details of the refund procedure are printed on the printing unit 25 (step S53).
Then, the control part 20 performs the process of step S55.

  On the other hand, if the credit card key is not pressed (No in step S51), the control unit 20 executes the process in step S53.

The operator presses the print key of the export duty-free article purchase record slip 251 when preparation for refund is completed.
When the print key of the export duty-free article purchase record form 251 is input (step S55), the control unit 20 causes the print section 25 to print the export duty-free article purchase record form 251 (step S57).

  Thereafter, the operator obtains a signature from the customer on the export duty-free article purchase record form 251 and, in the case of cash payment, refunds the tax-exempt amount together with the delivery of the original export duty-free article purchase record form 251 and pays the credit card. In such a case, a printed copy of the credit card refund procedure is delivered to the customer together with the delivery of the original export duty-free article purchase record slip 251.

  When the refund procedure is completed, the operator collects the receipts 101a and 101b received from the customer and inputs an end key.

  When the end key is input (step S59), the control unit 20 invalidates the receipt 101 / receipt for which the tax exemption amount has been refunded (step S61).

  Finally, the control unit 20 transmits update information to the POS terminal device 1 and the server 3 to the communication unit 26 in synchronization with the update in the export duty-free article purchase record issuance terminal device 2, and the tax-free form database 331 and the sales master. The database 332 is updated (step S61).

(Embodiment 2)
Next, processing of the sales database 132 of the tax exemption procedure support system 100 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIGS. 18A and 18B are explanatory diagrams showing examples of tax exemption items in the tax exemption form data 2301 in Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

  As shown in FIGS. 18A and 18B, after the end key is input, the control unit 20 changes the tax exemption item of the article for which the tax exemption amount refund process has been completed from “unprocessed” in the tax exemption form data 2301. Change to "Processed".

  In the tax exemption form data 2301, it is possible to prevent the tax exemption amount from being duplicated by preventing the product whose tax exemption item is “processed” from being subject to the tax exemption amount refund procedure.

(Embodiment 3)
Next, processing of the sales database 132 of the tax exemption procedure support system 100 according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 19 (A) and 19 (B).
FIGS. 19A and 19B are explanatory diagrams showing an example of the transaction number and update date / time items of the tax-free form data 2301 in Embodiment 3 of the present invention.

  As shown in FIGS. 19A and 19B, after the end key is input, the control unit 20 changes the transaction number from “12345678-0” to “12345678-1” in the sales database 132, for example. At the same time, the update date is updated.

  In this way, it is possible to know whether or not the refund processing of the tax exemption amount has been completed simply by referring to the transaction number, and thus it is possible to prevent the tax exemption amount from being duplicated.

(Embodiment 4)
In Embodiment 4 of the present invention, a stamp or the like is pressed on the receipt 101 for which the refund processing of the tax exemption amount is completed, and it is recognized whether or not the stamp is made on the receipt 101 submitted at the time of application for the refund processing of the tax exemption amount. Thus, it may be possible to determine whether or not the receipt 101 has already been refunded for the tax exemption amount.

  In this way, it is possible to easily determine whether or not the receipt 101 has already been refunded for the tax exemption amount by simply referring to the stamp pressed on the receipt 101.

  Further, it is possible to return the receipt 101 that has been refunded for the tax-exempt amount, in response to a request from the customer, without collecting the receipt 101.

(Embodiment 5)
In the fifth embodiment of the present invention, the tax exemption procedure support system 100 may not include the server 3 and the export tax exempt article purchase record slip issuing terminal device 2 may manage and update the database.

  In this way, since the server 3 is not required, the tax exemption procedure support system 100 including only the POS terminal device 1 and the export tax exempt goods purchase record slip issuing terminal device 2 can be realized.
